"Your assignment is to defeat all 8 gym leaders and earn the badges in the name of Team Rocket, so I can control my MewTwo. Should you fail, you will recieve no pay for labor and expenses. Is that clear, Mr. Baker?"
"Yes, sir" I replied to the boss.
"In that case, leave now."
"Yes, sir."
Now I was out on my own with my standard-issue pokémon. I had chosen Gastly, because I liked ghosts, and they were out of Haunters. "Taxi !" I yelled. A Pidgeot with a sign reading "TAXI" on it's neck stopped in front of me. "Pidge!Pidgeot!" A metallic box on it's head translated in a metallic voice, "Where to, sir?" "Petwer city." "Get on, sir," the voice replied. After a short flight, the voice said, "That will be $32, please." I gave the money to a wooden box on the pidgeot's back.
After arriving at the gym, a trainer stood before me. "To fight Brock, you must defeat me!" "Fine," I said "Come on Rhyhorn!" "Gastly, attack!" This was my lucky day. Even though rhyhorn is rock/ground, it only learns normal attacks. Attacks that dont affect ghosts. I smiled evily, as Team Rocket requires. "Rhyhorn, stomp!" "Gastly, Confuse Ray." The confused Rhyhorn attacked itself. "Crap." "Night Shade!" I yelled. A twinge hit the air. "Horn Attack, now!" Once again, the Rhyhorn hurt itself. "Do you surrender to Team Rocket, kid?" "No!" he screamed. Stuck up brat. "Lick attack, Gastly" My pokémon stuck out it's tonge, and whipped the Rhyhorn with it, forcing it to faint. I took the kid's money, and walked up to Brock. "I'll be taking your badge in the name of Team Rocket now!" "We'll see. Onix Go!" "Get him Gastly!" "Tackle the Gastly, Onix!" Brock's Onix flew through my Gastly, into the wall. "Lick it, Gastly" My pokémon proceeded to whip the Onix with it's tounge. I was impressed with the Onix, and decided to get me one. Something Silph Co. dosen't tell you is that pokéballs can imprison people too. "Pokéball, go!" "What? Nooo!" Brock exclaimed as he was captured in the ball. "Pokéball, go!" "Onix?" the pokémon said, as it too was captured. I took the badge from a table next to the pokémon arena, and left.
"Taxi !" "Pidgeot! Pidgey!" "Where to, sir?" The metallic voice said. "Cerulean City."
More coming soon in the next volume.
